In Colorado, about 3,800 workers at the world’s largest meat processing company are returning to work following the first major labor strike in the U.S. meatpacking industry in over four decades. Members of the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 7 walked off the job in mid-March to protest unfair and dangerous labor conditions at the JBS plant in Greeley. They’re looking to address low wages, a lack of personal protective gear, and discrimination against the slaughterhouse’s majority-immigrant workforce. The union agreed to call off the strike after JBS agreed to a new round of contract talks set to resume on Thursday.
